Morgans Dad Sounds like you know how it is. Some days there are some really amazing things come in ... I just wish I could afford the really nice stuff that comes in. I am also amazed how some of the customers can come in with stacks of cash to buy stacks of high end coins. Some days I get to thinking I have a nice collection going ... But then I see what the really big boys have and are buying. I know we all must be happy with are own level of collecting. I do hope I can help motivate others in setting their collecting goals. I feel if I can build a ...OK collection .. then others can too. ----------------------- Quote: Keep up the collecting, PS, Good luck on the 500 coin box of Peace and Morgan dollars too I know that will be a big challenge. One that will take several years to complete .. because I can never stay focused on one series/project to long. I do have about 100 Morgan and Peace dollars that are not in albums .. So I guess I do have a start ... maybe I should skip the Half dollars and go for the dollars. Edited by GR58 04/29/2016 11:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 10:07 am Very nice bro.... Sometimes it makes me sad to see these things though, since I had to sell most all my junk silver...also had to sell.....Silver Washington Dansco....dimes.....most Morgans in my Dansco...most Peace dollars.....Ike Dansco....Dansco Proof/Silver Proof State Quarters albums....1914-D Lincoln.....both ASE Anniversary sets, (one graded/slabbed set)..and many other things...sigh. But, after seeing your collection and treasure chest (Jbuck too)...it kind of revitalizes me too...still, with a budget of 2 cents a year for coins...it's hard man...

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 10:41 am I too love seeing GR's collections. The 500 silver dollar box will be a challenge, but it can be done. Focus and commitment will be required, of course. Still, it's as good a goal as anything else. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12848 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 12:16 pm Your posts are always a pleasure to read, GR58 --- and the photos, Most of my junk silver is in ziplock bags. I may take a page out of your book and put them in tubes to clean things up. Though I certainly don't have the need for a box just yet! Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5253 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 12:31 pm @GR58, this may be a silly question, but why is the quarter box of silver only 10 rolls (=$100 face)? Your dime box is 50 rolls (= $250 face). It seems to me that your silver quarter box "should" be at least 25 rolls, like the boxes with rolls of State Quarters. I fully approve, by the way, of nice boxes full of coins! There is something neat and satisfying about that. Report this Post to the Staff

Your dime box is 50 rolls (= $250 face). It seems to me that your silver quarter box "should" be at least 25 rolls, like the boxes with rolls of State Quarters. Good question ..... Not sure if I have a good answer. My dime box did start out as a 20 roll box ($100 face) Not sure what I switched to the 50 roll box .. but I like it. The State/ATB quarters are 50 roll boxes. Maybe someday I will switch to a 50 roll silver roll box. But I do like the 10 roll quarter boxes .. so might do multiple 10 roll boxes. The $100 face boxes will fit into Bank SDB better. The 50 roll boxes are great for State Quarters. I put the "P" mints in one box and "D" mint in the another. For the ATB Quarters I have 3 boxes .. third one for "S" mints.
